If you value sound advice delivered with a straightforward explanation you can do no better than to go to Prof. Whittaker who made my treatment as pleasant as it could be and, above all, left me with a strong sense of confidence that I was in good hands.
Professor Sean Whittaker was absolutely fantastic, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I had been dealing with this skin issue for years and had raised my concerns about MF with other GPs and dermatologists, but often felt brushed aside. Professor Whittaker was the first person who genuinely listened. He took the time to understand my concerns and history, and I finally felt taken seriously. Following a biopsy, I was diagnosed with MF and finally had the answers I had been looking for. My experience has shown me just how important it is to see a specialist who truly understands this condition. Having someone with the right expertise, who knew what to investigate, made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful to Professor Whittaker for his care, patience and thoroughness. After such a long journey, finally feeling heard and getting answers was a huge relief. Professor Whittaker has certainly set the bar incredibly high. My only request is that he doesn’t retire any time soon!
Prof Whittaker is unfailingly attentive, patient and thorough. He provides clear explanations and diagnoses, and I have always valued enormously his advice and treatment.
He was very helpful and friendly and gave clear explanations and my skin has improved significantly.
